Hello! I figure, since my life is oh so fascinating, I should give you lovely readers a key, so that you know who is who in these pages.
ROSE. That's me! I'm interested in the performing arts, and I adore Jane Austen! She is my muse, which is why most of these people's pseudonyms come from her books. Some will have to come from others because of character likeness and my fondness of some other books 
but mainly they will derive from the masterful Miss Austen's incredible creations. I wish I could call myself Miss Elizabeth Bennett, but I'm nowhere near wise or well-tempered as her. I'm much more like Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing. All the wit and joyfulness, but less of the sense. Or perhaps Miss Mabel from An Ideal Husband. Anyway, you will get to know me well enough by reading my entries, so on with the next person!
*MR. DARCY* my One Tru Luv (for the moment, anyway ;-D). What can I say about him? He's a comedian and an athlete, and very confident and well liked. Think brown eyes. Think... Italian looking, sort of. Unfortunately, he's not like Mr. Darcy at all, he's actually very warm! But just as no one can resist the real Mr. Darcy, I can't resist mine!
*LUCY STEELE* the evil two-faced bitch. Now, if any of you have read Sense and Sensibility or seen the film, you know what I'm talking about. If you havent, I highly reccomend it. This name suits her so well. She's a manipulative control-freak queen bee, with a boyfriend who is WAY too good for her. In the many many years of knowing her, we've all been scortched by her. Think Regina George. The more she decides she's against a perfectly innocent person, the more that person strives to please her. Not me! I've had quite enough of her. What she does is she'll all of a sudden decide top be best friends with someone. Now someone with experience with her would know to immediately get away from her, but most people, when they get that spotlight attention on them, think, "Oh, it must be different with me!" it's not. Just when it seems like it might work out, she all of a sudden decides they're her enemy, and rounds up people to all turn against that person! When it finally seems like the person sees through her at last, she turns back around and befriends them! Insufferable woman!
*EDWARD FERRARS* the aforementioned TOO GOOD boyfriend. He is very sensible and friendly, and seems quiet, but isn't when you know him well. *Lucy* was his first girlfriend and they've been dating for about two or three years (thanks to my introduction, STUPID Rrrose!) and only recently has he been slowly comprehending the situation he's in. *Lucy* kept him on a violently short leash, and wouldn't let him talk to his friends (including me) male or female, and wouldn't even let him be in a room alone with anyone of the opposite sex. Now he is older than her, and has left school. So the second he's gone away, being devoted to her, she starts being all over some younger guy! Not "cheating" per se, but still totally inappropriate behavior, like cuddling and tickling and telling him she loves him. Let's just call this young guy *ROBERT*.
*JANE BENNETT* my very best friend. At least one of them . She's a very loving human being. She's a year younger than me, so she has yet to confront some of the evils I have (see *Lucy* above) but she's very clever. She's also the most loyal friend anyone could ask for. If I need her, she is almost always there for me. Once I was trapped on an evening out with the insufferable woman mentioned above and a gentleman who's attention to me was quite profuse, and I'm sorry to say unwanted. So when they were getting some food, I sneaked off to a payphone and called her. She lived far away from where we were, but I told her about the situation and she traveled all the way to rescue me! Like Jane, she's eager to think well of everyone, which speaks of her merit and her youth. LOVE HER! Her new boyfriend by the way will be called *Charles*.
*KITTY BENNETT* another very good friend of mine. Unlike Lydia, the youngest Bennett sister, she is not so rediculous and unthinking. But like Kitty, she still does not always think about consequences. She also is a very loving person, but she's tough and she doesn't take any crap from anyone. It used to be that despite past failures, she would throw herself into relationships with less than honest men, before she knew their characters. Let's just say she's met a few Willoughbys. It seems though that she's been bitten enough by those dogs and she's far more sensible. She doesn't like her family or home very much, not that they are truly bad, they just don;t agree on a lot of things.She can't wait to leave the town and see the world. I wanted to name her *Mary Crawford* but that would be far too biting and viscious for *Kitty*.
*MARY CRAWFORD* I knwo I said before that she was "biting and viscious", but I don't mean it the way you might think. This girl is not biting nor viscious. *Mary* and I used to be best friends. she had some drama revolving a new relationship with a Wickham who had not been unmasked yet. During their relationship, she slipped more and more out of the public eye, getting involved in some less than ladylike activity, such as substance abuse and the like, and sort of isolated herself until the only person she had was that Wickham. Unfortunately, he left school, and soon after, left her for another woman. She needed help, so I went right back to being her friend, because honestly, she was genuinely sorry for what had happened and she really needed someone. Now she's ok, and we're good friends, but she's skittish and jaded, and feels sort of weary from this year's excursions with the awful rake of an ex-boyfriend. However, she's very smart and kind and witty and funny and goofy, and a very good friend. She's worried that since she made the mistake of drifting away, the friends she really cares about wont accept her. But things are healing, and we all still love her dearly.
*LYDIA BENNETT* I wish I could give her another name, but there it is. She is a great friend and confidante who lives very far away in another county, much closer to Town. But we IM all the time. As much as I love her, she has a lot of problems. Like Lydia, she's silly and doesn't know what's best for her. She always moves far too fast with men and then gets upset and wonders why they don't respect her. She also has a minor problem with drinking, and has several anxiety disorders. Most of this derives from, like Lydia, having a very silly mother. Her mom is a lovely person and very nice, but NOT a very good role model. I feel terrible about it, because *Lydia* is such a lovely wonderful person! She's nice and thoguhtful and always there for me. So, I think that's all I'll introduce for now. There are a couple more people, but I'll come to them when I come to them. I might do another introductionary entry later on. But for now, read and remember! And tell me what you think.
